Okay, I wake up in the morning, this is how I start my day and this is how I'm going to
suggest you start yours. I'm standing at the side of the bed, this couch is going to simulate
the bed for the time being. There are 4 segments to this exercise; 1-is a calf raise with a
deep inhalation, 2-is half squat, 3-is the knee raise and 4-is the leg extension. I'm
going to demonstrate these so don't worry about it. But what I'm going to suggest for
the beginner, for the person who is just starting to make the transition, I would suggest that
you do 20 reps of each as the knees are warming up. Begin with the calf raise, this is one
of the smaller muscles, it's not the muscle that we're going to emphasize, it's not one
of the bigger muscles but it is the way to ease into the exercise. It's a way of warming
up. So begin with 25 calf raise, reaching up or you can just kind of rest your hands
on the wall and just do, pump it to 25. After you have completed that then we'll do 25 of
the half squats.
